Accumulating experience in growing mangoes through a long time working for fruit garden owners in Dong Thap, Can Tho, Tien Giang ..., in 2021, Mr. Du Em decided to return to his hometown to start a business.
He hired machinery to renovate 6 hectares of ineffective rice fields and ordered mango seedlings to plant. Thanks to his new thinking and bold application of scientific advances in production, along with the practical experience he has gained, he now owns a high-quality mango garden with more than 720 mango trees including 2 specialty mango varieties: Cat Hoa Loc and Taiwanese mango.
Mr. Du Em shared: “My family is expected to harvest about 10 tons of mangoes in the near future. Hopefully, the price of mangoes sold on the Lunar New Year market will be high, and I will make a lot of profit so that I can have more capital to expand the scale.
I find growing mangoes easier than growing rice and the income is not less. Seeing that Mr. Du Em's mango garden is highly effective, with an income of 70 - 80 million VND/year, people in the neighborhood also want to learn how to do it.
Mr. Du Em is very happy to share all the experiences he has learned and accept technology transfer, production links, and purchasing relationships for those in need.
